Chest Pain: Home Care & Treatment
If injury, over-exertion, or coughing have caused muscle strain, your chest wall is often tender or painful when you press a finger at the location of the pain. This can often be treated at home. Try over-the-counter pain medications (like acetaminophen or ibuprofen), ice, heat, and rest.
If you know you have asthma or angina, follow the instructions of your doctor and take your medications regularly to avoid flare ups.
